This September, we're sharing to raise awareness of childhood cancer—specifically .
Aaron was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2022, at just 2 years old.
He underwent a long and gruelling treatment regime that devastated his tiny body and left his immune system shattered. Aaron's cancer was deemed refractory, but his treatment continued. His mum, Cass, was his most fierce advocate; she stayed by his side until the end, holding him while he took his last breath. His big sister, Ella, just as cheeky, was his best friend and protector. He loved his Nanny beyond words.
Aaron was surrounded by so much love during his short life. He was surrounded by so much love when he passed away in the early morning of August 27.
His mum will never forget the first sunrise without him.
It has been almost 4 weeks since Aaron's passing. While his family miss him beyond words and continue to search for him everywhere they go, they find peace in the fact that Aaron is no longer in pain – he is no longer suffering.
We will never forget Aaron. We will always say his name. We will always remember his gorgeous, cheeky smile. Aaron was, and always will be, a beam of sunshine.
💡 Neuroblastoma treatment should not be locked into standard protocols. Individualised care would help reduce the number of children who pass away from treatment side effects. It would also help kids like Aaron who have slipped through the cracks of standard scheduled screening post-treatment. The brutality of treatment and the effect it has on families is beyond devastating. More needs to be done. More funding is desperately needed for safer and more effective treatments that adopt a more individualised approach.
💬 Awareness is the first step toward a cure— to quicken the pace.
🙏 Together, we can make neuroblastoma a thing of the past.
